“In the world I am
Always a stranger
I do not understand its language
It does not understand my silence”
― Bei Dao

“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, but only saps today of its strength.”
― A.J. Cronin

“If you kin see de light at daybreak, you don't keer if you die at dusk. It's so many people never seen de light at all.”
― Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
― Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker
